Willpower

    Your heart, mind and body always dictate what we do. Whether to fight of flight, hate or love, try or not. It is one thing to impulsively act but it is another to do what’s righteous and justified. It definitely isn’t always easy to do. In fact it’s probably one of the toughest challenge we face today. If we had that sense of willpower since day 1; Eve would’ve never ate that fruit thus we would not exist in the state that we are in right now at this very moment. To attain this sort of willpower to hold back from temptations is hard. From all the spoils of society and modern day technology we naturally would want what “everyone” has and become “acceptable”. I personally find it easier to hold a short term goal to myself like refraining from buying snacks or going out to eat like a 30 day famine sort of thing. Famines are more socially acceptable and appreciated. Sooner or later you will discover that you will not rely on your old habits prior to the famine challenge that you have endured. If you want to cut a habit, you must first recognize the issue, find the root of the cause then address it with the 30 day challenge. Have some willpower and power through just those 30 days. It takes 21 consecutive days of repeating something daily to make it routine. If you could survive at least those 21 days you will be able to overcome whatever it may be that you were struggling with. Things that could be applicable can range from that person you need to learn to let go of, your sweet tooth, addiction to video games, social media, music, or whatever you can put your mind on, really.

P.S. Just start it. don’t hesitate. Count to 3 and do it
